On English Wikipedia, the bot run status was changed to disabled after a bug report (T291704). However, the OAuth app IABotManagementConsole continued to run on English Wikipedia, resulting in continued errors, eg https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spring_Valley_High_School_(South_Carolina)&diff=prev&oldid=1047318777&diffmode=source#cite_ref-5 . By default if the bot is disabled the app should also be disabled to avoid situations like this.

As a workaround until the bot is fixed, i have written a wee script to add dashes to cite parameters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BrownHairedGirl/CiteParamDashes.js
Using the script before invoking IAbot will avoid the duplication caused by this big.
Nikkimaria was aware of this workaround, since i had notified them of it 5 hours before they posted here: see the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nikkimaria&oldid=1047405589#Your_pointless_reverts
It's a pity that prefers to try to deny editors the ability to use this bot
